Eminem and the Case of the Missing Notebook
That's what Eminem's asking after losing a notebook with the pop princess' picture on it that contained lyrics to his upcoming album.
In what's undoubtedly some weird kind of karmic retribution for his anti-Britney tirades-cum-rhymes, the multiplatinum rapper says he doesn't know where the notes have gone.
According to a statement from his label, Interscope Records, the last time Eminem (his luggage tag reads Marshall Mathers III) saw the notebook was Friday on a Delta Air Lines flight from Cincinnati to New Orleans.
The lost lyrics are for songs that have not yet been recorded for Em's upcoming album with D-12, a group of fellow Detroit rappers. The album's scheduled to hit stores in March or April.
The real Slim Shady is hoping an honest fan will stand up and hand over the prized pad. He's offering a "generous" cash reward and a chance to meet him in exchange for the notebook's safe return, no questions asked.
To that end, he's established a toll-free number (1-888-311-4343) and email address (found@eminem.com) for anyone with information leading to the notebook's recovery. If that doesn't work, he may have to resort to putting a picture on a milk carton.
The case of the missing notebook is just the latest problem to befall the troubled hip-hopster in the past few days.
Last week, the rapper brewed up controversy in Canada when politicians tried to stop him from playing Toronto's Skydome as part of the Anger Management tour with Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach. The politicians were responding to a complaint filed by a woman who found the rapper's lyrics misogynistic. Still, Eminem went on stage as scheduled and dedicated some of his most profane ditties to those who tried to block his performance.
And on Tuesday, a group of students at the University of Illinois in Champaign lobbied school administrators to cancel Eminem's Thursday show at Assembly Hall, saying the concert violated the school's policy against discrimination.
"I believe this is an explicit form of harrassment. This is the university profiting from hate masquerading as entertainment," student Nick Sakurai told the Associated Press.
A university spokesman, however, supported Eminem's right to free speech and said the show will go on.
